Boris Sita D
by Rene 02 Jun '03

Jonas, and all, The last few days I've been roaming the net for some material that is still missing in my Yello collection. With Soul Seek, I found Boris Blank Swimmer Sita D (already on my private ftp server). As I listened to it, I found it to be something that could fit in the Blank Strategy of Sounds, but it also seemed to be sort of empty or lacking the real Blank SoS. A quick draw on a piece of paper, to be completed when it's time had come. A quick demo...a smudge? And so I gave the archives of our list a search and found out it is indeed a hoax. So no solo project of Boris or mister Strickler. But then again, I get the feeling that the proces in the Yello Studio is one big Solo of Boris, with a later addition of Dieter's Vocals and Lyrics inspired by Boris' Strategy of Sound. and a laugh after all this... Who knows... maybe my little tribute to yello will end up on a bootleg... lol. I;ll be famous. - If you're into some more reading... I found this today on the net and liked the story about the plaque in Kassel... http://fawny.org/shyello.html - Rene - The Swimmer in a Hundred Yello HTML pages...

My small HighSands FTP Server
by Rene 01 Jun '03

Hi there, Yesterday and this morning people have been downloading stuff from my little server. In the meanwhile I'm still roaming the net with hopes set on finding that so wanted exclusive material from the early days of Yello. There are hundreds of so called Oh Yeah mixes and The Race versions. Some one of you has just downloaded a Mantronix labeled Oh Yeah. Well you can trash it. It's a hoax. I simply forgot to delete it. Sorry. In order to prevent this from happening again I'll sort the stuff before I post on the FTP. Oh... and if you want to know what I did some years ago, just go to the EWA folder and check the Ich Fur Dich mixes. Rene

FTP

Hi, Alright. I haven't got a clue how to get FTP servers running, but on the net I found a program that stated it could be done in seconds. Well... For testing purpose: ftp://195.240.126.124 username: yello password: rules - It seems users can drop files into the browser window and it'll upload... Interesting. So if anyone is in for a test go ahead. - Rene

Like a flower...
by Rene 31 May '03

31 May '03

Over a longer period of time (years) my mind collapsed into a void. And today I experience something that can be described as a flower that opens at early sunlight. I recieved an issue of Interface. A dutch magazine about synths and related stuff. And while I quickly ran through the pages looking for something interesting to read, I started remembering an occurance in my life. Nearly five years ago I met a guy I had some software related bussiness with. As we started to talk more casual we found a mutual interest in synthesized music. The Hammer hit me, and knocked me off my feet!!!! This guy had been a reporter for the magazine INTERFACE. And he did an interview with YELLO during the period when STELLA was taking shape. I had to sit down, and couldn't believe what he was saying. There I was, in the lounge of the Company, talking to a guy who had used that same voice while talking to my Gods... He then got his phone and called INTERFACE to check if there were any copies left of that certain Issue. Sadly he informed there were none left. Bugger!!! But still. I found it to be a very suprising moment in my life. - Unfortuantly I lost track of this guy, and his name. All due to the maddness I lived through for years on end. But just in case this man is also a silent member of this list here are some keywords: Kral, Veendam, Media Control, Guide Groep, ... Rene - still working on a mental rebirth.

Yello Video's
by Rene 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi all, I've just been busy again with all the Yello video's I captured last year. I've made a terrible mistake. The video quality is superb, but dumb ass me, converted the audio segment to 128k mp3. This should have been 160 or even higher. The los is a bit too much. Ah.. sigh.. But what I wanted to ask: The girl, that features in several clips (Oh Yeah, Jungle Bill). Is this Dieters daughter? A Second question... Did Billy Mackenzy pass away, just like Ernst Gamper? Or am I just fooled by stupid html code on the net? And third: Oliver/Ollie, are you still out there? We talked at the end of last year about the recording of Yello in Havana. We would get in contact again about this. Although it never left my mind I didn't get back to it, because I'm still a victem of broken hardware. The superb Philips Pro Video deck has died, and I'm waiting for a replacement or enough money to get it repaired. A very old videocasette jammed the engines and mechanism... &**(*&%$##$$%%%^^.... Ah sigh. Rene

Yello's Christmas Carols
by Rory Filer 29 May '03

29 May '03

Coincidentally with Rene's question about the other Yello christmas carol, I was listening to Jingle Bells. The lyrics and sound are pure Yello/Dieter, but the song is unmistakeably Jingle Bells. Nice work. Does anyone know how many other christmas songs Yello wrote and what album, if any, they are on? It doesn't seem to exist in a music store near me. "These early years, they go too fast. But sometimes they always last"

Julian's answer was ambiguous. Yes they died? or// yes the HTML is goofy? -----Original Message----- From: Rene [mailto:t013463@tip.nl] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 1:35 PM To: The moon: beautiful.
